With the NFL season just a little more than a month away, the “GameDay Morning” crew was all together shooting their TV promos for this season’s show. As training camps get underway, we decided to get the entire band together again to sit down for a brief chat on some of the more intriguing storylines leading up to the 2012 season.

With the 2012 NFL schedule being released Tuesday evening on an exclusive three-hour NFL Network broadcast, we figured we’d have the guys hang out after the show and speak freely on a bonus edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast.
Rich teams up with Steve Mariucci, Marshall Faulk and Michael Irvin to go through a majority of the teams’ lineups and break down some of the best and most intriguing matchups that fans have to look forward to in the upcoming 2012 season.
Following Rich’s chat with the guys, we decided to take some of the best segments from their three-hour live broadcast that featured some prominent names from around the NFL, including Broncos head coach John Fox, Panthers WR Steve Smith and newly acquired Bears WR Brandon Marshall.
In case you missed it, be sure to go back and download Monday’s podcast featuring the hilarious Jay Mohr, and stay tuned for our third podcast of the week coming out Thursday morning on NFL.com and iTunes, featuring actress and comedian Aisha Tyler.

Guests include 2010 NFL MVP and 3-time Super Bowl Champion QB Tom Brady, the host of the DP show and former colleague of Rich’s Dan Patrick dials in and guys chat mancave to mancloset. The podcast wraps up with the one and only ‘Ace-Man’ as Adam Carolla stops by NFL Network studios to talk a little Rams, NFL Rulebook, and take part in the Rich Eisen Podcasts first ever physical challenge. Enjoy and thanks for listening Read →

Guests include John Madden, Jim Kelly, Anthony Munoz and Jack Youngblood with Jackie Slater. What a spectacular weekend it was in Canton, Ohio as seven legends of the game found themselves adorned with gold jackets and bronze busts as they entered the sport’s most special of fraternities. So we decided to take the podcast on the road for the first time for this special event and were able to catch up with some of game’s greatest. Rich first sits down with HOF quarterback Jim Kelly who is absolutely fantastic as they hit on such topics as Scott Norwood’s infamous missed Super Bowl XXV field goal, the future of football in Buffalo and his remarkably passionate Hall of Fame speech from 2002 that he dedicated to his late son Hunter, who suffered from a nervous system disorder known as Krabbe disease. It’s a must-listen as Kelly touches on the state of the current Bills team and whether or not QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is the answer in Buffalo.

Next, we catch up with one of pro football’s biggest icons as John Madden sits down with Rich fresh off a meeting with NFL commish Roger Goodell and others on player safety. Coach Madden shares stories from his Raiders days as well as his hugely successful broadcasting career and the redonkulous football viewing setup he currently enjoys as a retired coach/commentator/video game legend.

Following Coach Madden is class of 1998 enshrinee OT Antony Munoz, who addresses the current state of the Cincinnati Bengals and the hostile situation that his former franchise is facing with quarterback Carson Palmer’s pending retirement. It’s not all serious chatter, though, as Munoz shares a hilarious story about his struggles with one particular piece of golf equipment.

The podcast wraps up with former L.A. Rams teammates Jack Youngblood and Jackie Slater. The two dig deep as they reminisce on stories of the past, what it was like playing in the NFL in the late 1970’s with the Hollywood scene as their backdrop and if a return to L.A. is a good thing for the NFL. As expected the stories are great and put a cap on what was an even better weekend as the NFL Network family saw three of its own enshrined in Ed Sabol, Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders.

Lastly a special thank you to Joe Horrigan, Pete Fierle & Matt Waechter of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton for their efforts this week and assistance in making this inaugural on-the-road podcast possible.

Guests include Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Dan Patrick, Thomas Dimitroff plus Lombardi and LaCanfora. After 136 long days the doors have finally, finally opened back up and football is not only back, it’s back with a bang. The free agency frenzy that was predicted on last week’s podcast with Peter King has come into fruition and is in full effect. So what better way to start off this week’s podcast then with two of the best inside men in the business. NFL Networks Jason LaCanfora and Michael Lombardi, who have broken the news on a plethora of the free agent moves that have taken place thus far, join Rich to share some of the latest team moves and the reasons behind them. If their infinite wisdom doesn’t drive it home for you enough we get the perspective of a man who is going through it firsthand as Rich phones up our resident podcast GM from Atlanta Thomas Dimitroff to find out what the past 72 hours have really been like from the inside. The scene then changes from friendly confines of the NFL Studios in Culver City, CA to the rainy streets of New York City and Bryant Park where the 2011 EA Sports Madden Pigskin Pro-Am event was taking place. There Rich sits down with Dan Patrick to discuss the latest news and touch on some of the memorable moments of the past week. Next up from New York is a sit-down with two of the greatest running backs to ever play the game as Rich sits down with Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, and soon to be Hall inductee Marshall Faulk. It’s a must listen and great lead up to next weekend’s events in Canton. The podcast wraps by tying up a few loose ends from last week’s podcast and our Breaking Bad DVD giveaway via the official Twitter page of the podcast @TheEisenPodcast. Be sure to listen all the way through for the winners and how to claim your prize. As always, thanks for listening. Read →

Rich Eisen's Top 10 Interviews

Unbelievably, after a four-year run, this is the last-ever incarnation of “The Rich Eisen Podcast.” Frequently, in this business, shows like this don’t end at the host’s request or behest. Usually, shows named after the host come to an abrupt close when the host is shown the door by security while holding office belongings in a cardboard box.

Thankfully, the reason why I’m shuttering this podcast after four wonderful years is because it’s turning into a daily three-hour TV show airing on DirecTV’s Audience Channel No. 239 and streaming live on the latest venture brought to you by NFL Media, the NFL Now app. NFL Now is also the home to the video archive of the show, which will also be available in audio podcast form on Podcast One as well as iTunes and virtually every other place you’ve been able to download this program over its lifespan. Best of all for our listeners, NFL Now is internationally available too.

It’s truly exciting news for your humble host and my podcast compadres Chris Law and Chris Brockman, who are traveling with the show’s move to a bigger and broader platform.

I started this podcast at the outset of the 2010 season because I thought there was a space in which to connect with the NFL Network fan base and have a conversation about the NFL and the entertainment world in one sitting. And I was rewarded with four years of stupendous football chatter involving fascinating figures from the gridiron and guests from across the TV, movie and music spectrum. Best yet, it did in fact get me closer to myriad football fans worldwide. I can not thank you enough for your passionate listenership. Please follow the show with us into the new horizon. We could not have done it without you. Thanks again and, as always, enjoy this listen.
